Citrus Fruit Piercer Moth [Gonodonta Nutrix]

Lovely sage & yellow make this unusual moth a warm, earthy addition to the Kaleidoscope collection. As you can probably guess from the name, she can pierce through the thick skin of citrus fruits with her delicate proboscis (tongue).

The Luna Moth has been fluttering in the recesses of my mind since childhood. I have a vivid memory of seeing one on the side of a red barn when I was 5 or 6. The contrast in colors, the shape of her wings, that almost luminescent yellow-green; it all made quite an impression on my little mind and years later I found myself putting her down in charcoal and watercolor. The Kaleidoscope Collection grew naturally from there.
